MUSEUM OF JURASSIC TECHNOLOGY

What works at the beginning?

Creepy accordion music seems to fit strange subject matter

Curator introduced as intriguing, eccentric character

When the narrator says that the curator will welcome people as if they are exactly whom he has been waiting for, the listener feels as if he is the one being welcomed, or at least wants to be that person; there is a compulsion to listen

What is the argument?

The argument is about the beauty of confusion as a state of human consciousness; the truth or falsity of the exhibits at the museum is irrelevant. It is the questioning of the exhibits, the consideration of their place in the universe that is worthwhile.

How is that point of view developed?

The exhibits of the museum are introduced in a way that makes the listener skeptical

The immense level of care and detail that goes into the exhibits makes the listener question or reconsider what he is hearing

The appearance of the micro-sculptor’s children leaves the listener with little idea of what is really going on
